How to get DD-WRT working with NZ Fibre (Specifically Spark)

$

Spent ages trying to figure out how to get my D-Link DIR-895L to connect to the internet running DD-WRT. The solution can be found on a reply on an older forum post, but I missed it so thought to post it here clearer. Is super simple but it is just knowing the startup command to run at the end.

The key settings provided by Spark on their website are:

PPP protocol: PPPoE

PPP username: user@spark.co.nz

PPP password: password

VID (or VLAN): 10

Firstly reset your router to clear any settings on DD-WRT you may have fiddled with.

Secondly, on the setup go to Setup->Basic Setup->WAN Setup and change the mode to PPPoE, and enter the Spark details as shown in the image below.

Thirdly, go Setup->VLAN's. Move the tick in the "W" column down to Link Status 10 and ticked tagged on the bottom. Don't bother about moving the "Assigned To Bridge" setting as it just reverts back to 2.

Fourthly, go to Administration->Commands set the below two lines to be Startup.

nvram set pppoe_wan_ifname=vlan10

nvram commit

Then reboot, wait a minute and you should be good!

I got lost trying to change the VLAN tagging settings in networking but there is no need.

Hope this helps somebody!
